WRT54G - Limit users up/down rate

roakes · 19 Mar 2007 at 19:01

Hi all,

I share my net connection with my housemate using a Linksys WRT54G and he has a habit of leaving his P2P stuff chugging away uploading all manor of cr*p to everyone with no regard for anyone else using the connection. Is there any way of configuring the router to set maximum up/download limits for his PC?

Thanks

Russ

I cant block his access completely, I just want to limit his k/s for upload and download. I don't mind playing with 3rd party router firmwares

I already use the access restrictions to completely cut him off during the day in the week. What I need to do is also limit his bandwidth allowance when he isn't cut off. I am currently using "Firmware Version: v3.03.6 - HyperWRT 2.1b1" on my router.

I have the QoS options but no idea how to use them to achieve what I want, can anyone shed some light? Maybe a different firmware which has easier to configure options?

Thanks guys, got the latest DD-WRT loaded now and it seems to be suitable. I have configured the netmask priority for our 2 IP addresses (they are static). Which would be best to set them to priority wise. Exempt for me and Standard for him?
